==== Summary ====
The SMC Pentax-M 35mm f/2.8 is a compact, manual-focus wide-angle prime lens for Pentax K-mount 35mm and full-frame digital SLRs, produced from 1977 to 1984. It features a 6-element/6-group optical design, a 5-blade automatic diaphragm, and Pentax’s Super Multi-Coating (SMC) for improved contrast and flare resistance. As the slower sibling to the M 35mm f/2, it offers a more affordable and lightweight alternative without sacrificing much in optical quality. With a 63° diagonal field of view on full-frame and a minimum focus distance of 0.3m, it’s well-suited for landscapes, street photography, and general-purpose shooting. The lens uses a 49mm filter thread, weighs just 170g, and measures 63 × 35.5mm, making it a great choice for compact film or digital kits. It lacks an “A” setting on the aperture ring but is fully compatible with manual and aperture-priority modes on Pentax DSLRs.
